can't say I have seen one like that, all the US Cruiser wheels up to 1980 had hub cap clips, 80 and on are like a fj60 wheel in white or chrome.

If there are rivits on the back side they won't fit a disc cruiser unless you use a spacer.

those still could be Cruiser wheels or maybe a chevy wheel

but they look alot like my 45 16" split rims....with hub cap clips

thanks for the info . there probably somthing different then .have me curious tho so i will be pulling one off to take a better look . also will try it on a disc front end . can i add the clips to this wheel ??

is it possible to add clips to this wheel . later jake

 

[Landpimp]

the more I look at it the more I think its from something else, your has a raised bump bewteen the lug nuts.......and that where the hub cap clips would go, so no you prolly cant(at least easiley) add the clips.

I need to look at some more pic of wheels..........

stock wheels

If you cant live without stock wheels and hubcaps, I have a full set off of my 74' FJ55. I can send you pics if you like. Let me know. Hodag

did some bathroom research(readin my 69-80 parts book).............it apears that yes there was a wheel like you show wiht no hub cap clips and it looks like the same bumps between the lugs............they were non US 74-5ish

 

[pbgbottle]

cool thanks for the info .i will still be lookin at them closer .(the wheels ) this is suppose to be a 1975 canadian version fj40 . thanks again for the info

looks like there is some serial #'s or something stamped into the wheel so if it is a non -us wheel
did it not come with hub caps .? thanks Jake

Early mini-truck steel wheels look very much like cruiser wheels but no clips for hubcaps.

I recently ordered a set of rims for my '73 from Toyota. Instead of the rims with the clips the ones like you show showed up. It is just alittle different part number but, yes they are still available from Toyota. I have the part number somewhere if somone wants it.

BTW..I was ordering rims for a disc front end. Pretty sure they asked if it was for a disk front end on the rims w/o clips.

thanks sniper for the info Jake

 

[Landpimp]

did they come black or gray?

your right, when I ordered some wheels(just to look at) they showed both with and without clips.

They came that awful BLACK color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the black similar to the e-coat on body parts? Can it just be dewaxed and painted?

Mine look just like Pimp's except they're black. Assuming they were painted as I think they're all supposed to be Concrete Gray.

 

[Landpimp]

thats what I thought, the disc hub cap wheels I ordered came in black, but to me it looked like normal paint.

The new in box set of rims I got (OEM, Toyota, with Japlish instructions printed on the cardboard), and WITH clips, came in black.

 

[Landpimp]

your wheels were made in June of 1977, they are disc brake Cruiser wheels.

Not sure when the dating of the wheels started but my 82 fj40 wheels are all dated one month before the 40 was made.

Dave for early Cruisers, black is the correct color.........see how lucky you are?

and what would a set of disc brake with hub cap rims cost from toyota?

 

[Landpimp]

if you shop smart, about $70 each, caps are extra.

[pbgbottle]

thanks landpimp for all the info . even though the cruiser is registered as a 75 . the owner said some of the parts where from a 78 40 , cool so they are oem . cruisers actually came from the factory without hub caps ? WOW ! ANYWAYS CHOW JAKE
